But Messi wasn’t in the best mood during a passage when Tite reckons he should have been shown a yellow card.
Messi reacted by telling Tite to shut his mouth and gesturing with his finger over his mouth.
"I complained because he [Messi] should have been shown a yellow card and he told me to shut my mouth and I told him to shut his mouth,” Brazil boss Tite said.
"And that was it. "I don't want to answer anymore on it. You need a strong referee because he'll swallow you… It should have been a card, I was right to complain."

Messi condemned Brazil to a fifth straight game without a win in his first appearance since facing a three-month ban.
He was banned for claiming the Copa America was corrupt following a red card against Chile in the third place play off.
He was also fined $50,000 (£41,121) by Conmebol, the South American Football Confederation.
